Performance Verification
Recommended test equipment
summarizes recommended verification equipment. You can use alternate
equipment as long as that equipment has specifications at least four times better than
corresponding Model 2306 specifications. Keep in mind, however, that test equipment accuracy
will add to the uncertainty of each measurement.

Characterize resistor using 4-wire ohms function of DMM before use.

Required only for Models 2306-PJ and 2302-PJ. Characterize resistor using 4-wire ohms function and 200OHM
range of DMM before use. See Resistor considerations for temperature coefficient.
Resistor connections
When performing the verification tests that use the precision resistors, be sure to connect the
Model 2306 OUTPUT #1 or OUTPUT #2 SENSE leads and DMM test leads as close to the
resistor body as possible.
Resistor considerations
The test resistors should be characterized using the lowest possible range and the 4-wire ohms
function of the DMM recommended in
to measure the resistance values. Use the
measured resistance values to calculate the actual currents during the test procedures.
NOTE
The temperature coefficient and temperature change of the 1
Ω
resistor when passing
current at full load must be low enough so that the change in resistance does not cause
incorrect readings. This is summarized in the following equation:
